post two: Laveaus Aging - Yeah. My babies be growing

Bastien: Tell me about it

Chip: Feelz

Raya: Don't I know it

[starlightbelle]

These are YOUR art??? Oh my gosh I always loved these designs growing up!! 😭 It’s one of those things as a kid I associated with the company and never thought I’d get an artist attributed to it, especially so many years later; what a happy surprise!

OH DANG they're bringin' back the old UC art over on Neopets!🙌🏼🎉

My last summer working at Neopets was 2007, which was riiiight on the eve of the big conversion—I rarely kept track of my more basic paintbrushes (purple, rainbow, checkered, etc), but I sure as heck kept track of all the PBs I designed that required full redraws:

I do not think I realized until this moment how many ixis I drew, apologies to all other pet species 😔🙏

[thepiratecaves]

trying to trade a pet and realised i have no idea anymore how i got him in the first place lmao

IN THESE SMALL HOURS ┊ GOJO SATORU

tags: GN reader, newly established relationship, gojo carries the reader, alcohol consumption (you’re both tipsy), fluffy fluff, sharing a bed, using pet names for the first time (reader receiving)

wc: 1K

There's a pleasant buzz under your skin. Insides softened by liquor, you are reminiscent of a puppet on strings as you stumble into your apartment.

Vaguely, you can recall the soft clink of shot glasses meeting in the centre of the table. The fuzzy image of Satoru throwing back his shochu and shuddering at the clean, dry taste, before quickly shoving some fried chicken in his mouth to chase it.

Titters follow behind as you kick off your shoes and subsequently trip over them. It sharpens the senses, brings you to the present—to the firm body at your back. Satoru hooks his chin over your shoulder. The flush on his face is prominent now, even under the poor lighting, and after a long pause staring at one another you dissolve into quiet laughter with him.

“You steady, baby?” Satoru murmurs, syrupy and low. Hot are the fingers at your waist, squeezing intermittently as though to commit your shape to memory. “I think—” he hiccups, frowns inwardly at the interruption, and then shakes his head, as though shaking them off. “You know, I think that the shochu might’ve been a bad idea”.

“And whose idea was that again, I wonder?” you try to level him with an unimpressed look that is no doubt betrayed by your tone. “Should make it up to me”.

Satoru near mewls. Using the sway in his gait, he leans to gather you into his embrace. Then abruptly, and in one fell swoop, he has lifted you into his arms, as easy as scruffing a kitten with a colourful vocabulary.

“Fuck—Satoru! You dickhead, put me back down!”

Obligingly, Satoru dropped both of his arms. Your limbs wrapped around him before gravity could drag you to the floor, and you proceeded to cling to his torso like a front-facing backpack. “Wait I didn't mean—don't just drop me here!”

“S’what you told me to do,” Satoru grinned. “Then where to?”

Your mouth wobbles as heat prickles over your face. He’d be remiss not to notice the way your breath hitched as his fingers flexed around your thighs. It’s a fragile physical thing that feels unusually momentous. “Bedroom,” you tell him, aiming for authoritative and landing squarely on flustered.

“Mn, I can do that,” Satoru replied. You squinted at his face, at the tentative, coy beginnings of a grin curling into appled cheeks. “That mean I’m staying over tonight?”

Expression pinched, you duck your chin to hide how your mouth sets into a thin line, trying not to smile back. You exhale, palms sliding over the broad expanse of his shoulders, behind his throat to tangle fingers in the soft hair there. “You’re staying. Now stop trying to be cute and take me to bed”.

He staggers through the living room, a large hand laid flat and sliding along the wall to feel for the bedroom door, navigating your home with an ease that warms you. After all these years, and against the odds, he still carves out space for you in the flotsam and jetsam of his life.

You drop onto your mattress, springing in place before you settle into the cushions and begin to strip yourself of your clothes. Satoru stands at the bedside a second longer, swaying somewhat, watching you get comfortable with half lidded fondness heavy enough to feel like touch. There’s a familiar tingle. Somewhere in your belly, at the base of your spine. Giddiness.

He tracks the movement of your arms as they stretch out to him, and your thighs fall open, making space for him to fit. “Get over here,” you say.

Satoru doesn’t need to be told twice. The corded muscle in his arms bulges when he reaches back to pull his shirt over his head, ivory hair fluffing in every direction. Your attention drifts lower to the fingers working open his belt buckle to reveal porcelain skin, a trail of downy hair.

His belt loosens, hanging down. Metal clinking in the quiet. The zip almost breaks as he tugs open the top button and shoves his jeans down over his thighs, fabric straining. Satoru kicks them aside, but not before making a show of hopping on one leg, exaggerating his struggle to amuse you.

The mattress yields under his weight. As do you, when he drapes his body over your own, kissing from the corner of your mouth to your jaw until his head is nestled into the crook of your neck, mouthing at your pulse. He’s making satisfied little noises that sound suspiciously like sweetheart and angel and love. He’s been doing it throughout the evening, letting the odd endearment slip and feigning ignorance, carefully discerning your reactions; rolling words around his teeth just to taste them.

Your legs bracket his narrow hips, arching off the bed an inch so he can wrap his arms around you. Only then does he truly give. Contentment spreads throughout your body like the golden hour.

Knuckles brush gently over Satoru’s pink cheek. You whisper his name and he tilts to look at you. Though the curtains are closed moonlight filters through the cracks and you see it reflected dimly in his eyes, displaying tenderness you scarcely know what to do with. It’s all encompassing and yet not—as if you’re full and starving at the same time.

“What’s with all the sudden pet names?”

A beat passes. You expected a muffled whine, or an embarrassed hum. There’s neither. “Decided I like them,” Satoru slurred. He turned to rest his cheek on your shoulder and the chub creates a soft crease beneath his eye. A lazy smile hung on his lips. “Want to be sweet to you. Problem?”

Slowly you feel a welling up of affection. Your heart is running away from you. “Don’t have to y’know. You’re already the biggest cheeseball I’ve ever met”.

“Don’t want to be cheesy, want to be sweet,” Satoru reiterated with a huff, because their distinction is very important. The warm puff of breath brushed along your collar. You can hear the grin in his voice. “I’ll let you act like you hate it if you let me keep using them”.

Seized by a passing urge, you bend your neck to nip at his mouth, and kiss him twice over. You can taste the beer lingering on his tongue. “Deal,” you murmur.

Yuu - Child of the Great Seven [5]: The Sea Witch in Octavinelle

Summary: The Sea Witch visits Mostro Lounge in Octavinelle with her trusted Eel Familiars while waiting for her child to arrive from Ramshackle. How will Azul react?

Jamil: Hey! I thought you said Scarabia was next!

Broken: Sorry about that, Jamil. Your chapter is next.

Note: To keep my sanity, the Eels shall have their canon names.

[To say that Azul Ashengrotto was trying his best to keep his composure and not fanboy right where he was standing was a complete understatement, and if he were to fanboy, could anyone honestly blame him? The Sea Witch - A Member of the Divine Great Seven & Mom to his Most Precious Pearl, Yuu - was currently standing [She's Currently In Human Form - She has Legs] in the middle of the Mostro Lounge with her hands resting on her hips as her heels clicked with each step she took through the lounge with a smile on her face.]. Floyd and Jade standing beside him while their eyes were glued on the large eels that floated around in the air while not leaving the Sea Witch's Side; using their magic to maintain a small bubble of water to keep their skin moist, they had human forms, but they preferred to remain eels.]

Flotsam: Our Lady, Most Generous Sea Witch! We must say-

Jetsam: -this place is far more interesting than we assumed it to be. However, that is to be expected-

Flotsam & Jetsam: When an ASHENGROTTO runs the show! (Laughing)

Sea Witch: Now. Now. Boys, remember to behave: We are guests here and these young men mean something to my Little Pearl.

Flotsam: Speaking of the Little Octopi, where are they hiding?

Jetsam: Yes! The Little Octopi is never late for important business!

[Just then: the door of Mostro Lounge opens and Yuu walks in with an outfit that is mixed between the Octavinelle Dorm Unform and the Sea Witch's Dress with a shell necklace around their neck.]

Yuu (Walking over to the Sea Witch): Forgive me for being late, Mom; I was trying to mentally prepare myself for today.

Sea Witch: Oh, don't worry about that, My Little Fry; your friends have been most accommodating to me. Such polite boys. [Yuu smiles as Flotsam and Jetsam swim over to them.]

Flotsam: Oh, brother! Oh, brother! Who is this I see before me?

Jetsam: The Little Octopi? Could it be?!

Flotsam: Did you come to sing and play?

Yuu: That depends: How much will you pay?

Flotsam & Jetsam (Laughing): Ah, yes! It has been a long time, Little Octopi. We thought you were going to forget the Number One Eel Rule.

Yuu, Flotsam, and Jetsam: Always profit!

Sea Witch (Claps): Oh, yes! Profit is important, but what is most important, Little Fry?

Yuu: Always make the deal fair - you'll get more business and money that way.

Sea Witch: I taught you well.

Jade: Hm. With rules like that, I can understand why the Mostro Lounge got a sudden increase in funds that day.

Azul: Day? What day?

Jade: Oh, that's right. We failed to inform you.

Floyd: Remember when ya go sick and you asked Jade and me to watch the Lounge?

Azul: I remember asking Jade.

Floyd: We're Twins! We do everything together! The thing is Jade and I asked Shrimpy to help us!

Azul: What?! Why didn't you tell me you bothered Pearl with that?!

Jade: You were sick and stressed.

Floyd: And we were bored! So, we grabbed Shirimpy when the Baby Seal wasn't looking, dragged them to Mostro Lounge, and left them there to take care of it!

Jade: Imagine our surprise when the Prefect not only managed to run the lounge with no prior experience but increased our normal sales by 3 for the consistency of a week.

Azul (Brain Loading): Daily Sales increase by 3x...for a week?

Jade: Yes. Didn't you see it in the Ledger? I wrote it down.

[Without a word: Azul went back into his office and was gone for about 10 minutes.]

Yuu (Being nuzzled by Jetsam and Flotsam): Hm... Is he okay in there?

Jade: Give him a moment.

[After another 4 minutes: Azul comes back into the Lounge.]

Yuu: There you are, Azul-senpai. (Sees a Golden Contract in Azul's Hand) What are you going to do with that?

Azul (Holds the contract out to Yuu): Sign it.

Yuu: Why?

Azul (Walks towards them like a robot): Sign it.

Yuu: I am not signing that.

Azul: Sign It! (Runs at Yuu)

Yuu: AHHH! (Runs around the Mostro Lounge with Azul chasing them)

Azul (Chasing Yuu): DON'T RUN, PEARL! THIS IS OUR DESTINY! SIGN IT!!!

Yuu (Still Running): I DON'T WANNA!

Azul: BECOME MY BUSINESS PARTNER, PEARL!!!

Yuu: I'M NOT READY FOR THAT KIND OF COMMITMENT!!!

[The Sea Witch, Leech Twins, and Eels sit in a booth and watch Azul chase Yuu around the Mostro Lounge.]

Jade: Should we help the Prefect? Azul is gaining on them.

Flotsam & Jetsam: Nope.

Sea Witch: My Little Octopi will be okay.

Floyd: Run, Little Shrimp, Run!

[One Hour Later]

Yuu (Trapped in Octo-Azul's Tentacles while being pulled into the Octopus Pot) (Clawing at the carpet): NO! NO! I WANT TO LIVE!

[Yuu gets pulled into the Pot]

Yuu (Lunges out with their hand reaching for the door): I WANT TO LIVE!!! (Gets yanked back into the Octopus Pot)

Jade: Well... We won't be seeing them for a while.

Sea Witch: Is he normally like that?

Jade: Indeed. When Azul is stressed or overworked, he uses the Prefect as a Cuddle Buddy. The Prefect was the first person who saw Azul as a decent person, even after he attempted to swindle them.

Floyd: That's Shrimpy for ya.

[In The Octopus Pot]

Octo-Azul (Hugging Yuu, who is petting his hair): Thanks for always being there for me.

Yuu: It's okay, Azul; you're kinda like the Big Brother I always wanted to have.

Octo-Azul: If that's the case... Will you sign a contract stating that I am your brother?

Yuu (Rolls Eyes): I'm not signing a contract, Azul.

Octo-Azul: Why not?

Yuu: Knowing you, you would put in the terms and conditions that I have to answer all your phone calls, have dinner with you every weekend, have study sessions with you, and I'm not allowed to date anyone who you don't approve of; and you don't approve of anyone around me. Also, I know tat you would pull the 'Elder Brother' Card on me whenever you can.

Octo-Azul: No, I wouldn't.

Yuu: What did I say about lying?

Octo-Azul: It only works for Ace, Deuce, Grim, and Floyd.

Yuu: Are you any of them?

Octo-Azul: No.

Yuu: Exactly.

[END]

[adrianasunderworld]

So you know how it's known across the fandom that Yuu's love for Grim (and favouritism) is stronger than any potential romantic love and one of my favourite tropes is having Grim getting in the way of the boys' courting because of Yuu's motherly instincts for the little baby.

Imagine that but Miss Yuu and the villainous sidekicks in the House of Mouse!AU because of course her Disney Princess-ness is so strong that she not only has her own animal sidekick but also the animal sidekicks of the villains. Like, the overblot gang try to visit her at her job in the club only to find her already occupied.

Riddle comes in to find her having a pleasant tea party with the King of Hearts and the White Rabbit and feels too shy to say anything

Leona is visibly ticked to find his pillow herbivore in a hyena cuddle pile, with Yuu giving them all head pats (especially when Shenzi, Banzai and Ed give him smug looks when Yuu's not watching)

Azul can do nothing but stare when he finds Yuu's attention is slowly focused on giving Flotsam and Jetsam head scritches as they purr all self-satisfied like the little sea cats they are

Jamil is completely irked to see Iago hogging all of Yuu's time by letting her pet his feathers as he brags about himself

Both Vil and Malleus have come on separate occasions to find either Queen Grimhilde's crow or Diablo preening at Yuu's attention

The one time Idia leaves his room and comes to the club with Ortho so that he can play a new mobile game with Yuu, only to find her sitting in the corner with Pain and Panic all snuggled up on either side of her (and Grim on her lap, of course), as the three of them watch Kimi No Na Wa on the imps' tablet.

I just find find it neat how the sidekicks (both heroic and villainous) have all basically claimed Yuu as theirs as well. I've always loved the whole found family aspect of when a character is dating or gets gets adopted by a powerful character, all of the underlings instantly welcome them, shower them with love and are probably even more protective of them than the other main character (it happens quite a lot in manga, manhwa and in a lot of fanfics I read)

This is adorable, but also the image of Pain and Panic basically being iPad babies makes so much sense.

Hades brought Cerberus once, and Miss Yuu giving him a treat was all it took for him to be a good puppy. There is always a bird, good or evil, perched on her shoulder. Lucifer likes to curl up at her feet when she sits down somewhere. Yuu is basically and unofficial Disney princess now, so that means all the animals love her. But Grim will always be her baby.

[cherrys-side-bitch]

Having tea parties with Maleficent, Grimhilde, Ursula, and Qoh?

This brainrot is killing me

I KNOW these four have the best gossip around. The tea is piping hot.

From things they heard or saw around campus while Yuu was in the hallways to things they experienced while they were alive, they have it all.

Queen of Hearts doesn't like gossiping much, but she’d be lying if she said she didn't enjoy spending time with Yuu like this. Even though she’s a ghost and can't drink tea, she appreciates that they set a place for them all to talk in these little tea parties. As I said before, she doesn't enjoy gossiping much, so she won't add much, but if one of the others says something that she finds intriguing, she won't be shy to jump in. Other than that, it's only short, occasional comments from her. Though QOH mostly talks about the Hearstlabyl students.

Ursula will always send flotsam and jetsam to get new information and may tell Yuu that they must pay for the information even though we know she's only teasing them. She doesn't talk about a specific dorm and its students, instead speaking of any student that caught her eye, for better or worse. However, if Yuu seems to have been flustered by any student, she will be having a field day teasing them.

Queen Grimhilde is the type of person to claim she doesn't like to gossip and then proceed to bash somebody’s entire brand in Yuu’s head. However, once she can sit down and properly chat with Yuu and the other three, her insults are somehow better. Grimhilde doesn't talk much, but when she does, it's more often than not about the Pomfiore students. For a dorm that is supposed to pride itself on its tenacity, she finds a number of the students lacking and doesn't bother hiding that fact.

Maleficent’s stories are history lessons with how much she has to say about her experiences. Name any figure in twisted wonderland history before her passing, and she will tell Yuu anything they want to know. However, she insists that Yuu doesn't spread too much information that she tells them, even if it would be hilarious. Maleficent doesn't want her baby getting targeted because they started leaking an ancient fae’s secrets. However, when she isn't speaking on those matters, she silently listens to Yuu speak, smiling softly as she watches Yuu passionatly talk about whatever is on her mind.

Baby Royal Boy and Girl Flotsams

Baby Neopets Masterlist

[macfrog]

Gnawing on the bars of my enclosure for more baby daddy Joel omg. You’re the best

okok im in the mood for a spicy (?) snippet let's dive in (HA) :

“Joel,” you cry out, the sound ripping between your vocal cords, punching against the ceiling and reverberating in your ears. Your body convulses on the mattress, back arching and slackening again. “Fuck, I’m – oh, my –” Just feel it, baby. Feel me. You got it. Let go. Your lungs lurch open again, breath flooding in like waves spilling over the gunwale and rushing down to pool at your feet. A lulling rock to your movements, chest rising and falling like the steady tide. Soothing, coming down. Foam and salt carrying the flotsam away, the jagged glass of his name disappearing to sea again.

[pocketseizure]

okay vague fic prompts but i would kill for something with Spirit Tracks Zelda and Link just being best buds together! During or after the game eithers cool Also babi ST Zelda and grandma Tetra interacting. yknow cute stuff.

“You don’t have to wear a dress, you know.” Tetra winced at her own words. That had come out much harsher than she intended.

“Why wouldn’t I wear a dress?” As if proving her point, Zelda twirled her skirts like a dancer. The pleats of the fabric shimmered in the sunlight streaming through the mullioned windows.

“The Lokomo Festival only comes once a year. Wouldn’t you like to run around and play in the town square?”

“Yes!” Zelda beamed up at her. “I’ve been looking forward to it since last year, and I want to be pretty.”

“Aren’t you worried about getting dirt on your nice dress?” Tetra did her best to keep her voice level. Her daughter had been just as pragmatic as she was herself, but this child was an entirely different creature. It would never occur to the girl to disguise herself, nor did she feel any compunction about dressing like the legendary princess whose name she’d inherited.

So much had happened in the years since Tetra founded New Hyrule. The castle had grown, as had the town surrounding it, and the land was prosperous and safe. Meanwhile, she’d gotten old, almost without noticing it.

Why anyone would want to wear a frilly pink dress was beyond her, but there was no reason why a younger generation needed to share her way of thinking. If she had learned anything during the time she spent on the Great Sea, it was that no one could stop the world from moving on.

“Are you coming too, Grandma? We can go together, if you like.” The gems adorning Zelda’s tiara sparkled in the morning sun just as brightly as her eyes. There was no malice in the girl’s invitation, but Tetra still resented the girl’s assumption that her grandmother would need to be chaperoned.

“No, dear, but thank you,” Tetra replied. “You go on without me. I was just thinking that today would be a fine day to head out to sea.”

Perhaps for the last time, she didn’t add. Even now, the unexplored reaches of the ocean were filled with danger, and the flotsam and jetsam that had once fallen beneath the waves had a tendency to rise. She’d done good work in New Hyrule, to be sure, but the kingdom would do just fine without her.

Tetra watched as Zelda gave a final twirl in front of the mirror and dashed out to meet the waiting day. It would be good, she thought, to feel the wind on her face again.

[synthaphone]

greetings. this is apropos of nothing but I have been pondering this, and I respect your grasp on the depths of neolore. what do you think the deal is regarding neopets infancy. are they all born the super-rare Baby color that they then grow out of? or are they simply little r/b/y/g miniature pets that grow up into larger r/b/y/g pets from there. Thank you for your time.

ooo this is a fun question

The official site lore seems to kind of vary- prior to baby being introduced as a paint brush color, baby neopets didn't have any established designs, so the artists would just kind of do Whatever.

Post-baby being introduced as a paint brush color, baby Neopets are usually depicted as the Baby paint brush color in site art- although very rarely, they can show up in non-canon colors, like in this 2012 daily dare graphic:

The poogle is off model for a canon baby poogle in this image, so that's kind of interesting, lol. I guess the flotsam is off too though (its missing its back fin and has yellow sclera) so i wouldn't put TOO much stock into it.

Anyway if I had to guess, I'd say that the official stance is that in World Lore canon, baby neopets are born looking like the Baby paint brush color, and then grow into adult neopets, and the Baby Paint Brush and 'Baby' as a color are something that only exist on the Game side of Neopets.com. This distinction between the World canon and gameplay of Neopets is shown in the lore bible pages shared by former staff member Snarkie on her tumblr blog.

A possible counterargument is that there's also characters like Boochi in the site lore, so that throws a little bit of a wrench into things- they might consider getting zapped by Boochi to be de-aging a pet though rather than changing their color.

With my personal lore for my neopet ocs, I just don't really bring up the Baby or Elderly PB colors and kind of pretend they don't exist, and think baby neopets are just born looking like their Baby Paint Brush color but with more color variety. Except I also don't bother trying to match the canon baby neopet designs like, at all, so i guess i'm just kind of like: Whatever!

anyway here's baby Ben and Viarnne

Everyone watched as Ariel regained her voice once again, and then the sun started to set and Vanessa started laughing maniacally. As Ariel’s legs became a mermaid tail, and she crumpled to the floor. Everyone was staring at her in shock, “You’re too late! You’re too late!” She shouted, as black smoke surrounded her and she became the sea witch with tentacles. [Y/n] ran in front of Ariel.

 “Stay back!” She shouted, and was knocked away by one of the tentacles onto her back. Ursula crawled towards Ariel, picking her up and lifting her over the edge, and plunging into the water below. 

[Y/n] rushed to her feet and ran towards the railing looking down, and seeing where the splashed into the water. Gripping the railing, she ran towards the stairs that lead down the beach, “Y/n!” Eric called out, and she ignored him, continuing to make her way down the stairs towards the beach, and hopping into one of the rowboats not before grabbing some harpoons. Pushing the boat out into the water and hoping in, still ignoring Eric’s calls for her, as she rowed towards where Ariel was. 

‘I’m doing this for you Eric.’ 

She thought to herself, knowing that Eric didn’t feel the same way about her and only wanted to be with Ariel. Who was actually the person he’d been searching for the entire time. She wanted him to be happy even if it meant she wouldn’t in return. [Y/n] rowed towards the glow in the water, and gripped the harpoon in her hand. Taking in a deep breath she jumped into the water, and saw Ursula pointing a trident at Ariel. Raising the harpoon in her hand seeing Ursula get closer to Ariel, she threw it and it scraped against Ursula’s shoulder. 

Causing both her and Ariel to look up towards [Y/n], “You will pay for that.” Ursula said, looking at her angrily. [Y/n] glared at her and turned around swimming back up to the surface, both needing air and to get another harpoon. When she  turned her back, Ursula pointed the trident at her, “Get her!” She shouted. 

Two eels named Flotsam and Jetsam, started swimming towards her as she swam up towards the surface towards the rowboat. As she surfaced, she gasped for air and gripped onto the side of the rail boat trying to reach for a harpoon, and was suddenly pulled underwater by the two electric eels by her ankles. Pulling her further down into the water, Ursula then pointed to the trident, “Say goodbye to your friend!” She shouted, and Ariel lunged towards her, pushing her side. 

Causing her to end up hitting her eels instead and they disintegrated. Ursula cried out in shock and sadness, “Ah, my babies!” She cried, as the human and the mermaid started swimming up towards the surface. She looked up at them angrily, and started breathing heavily fuming as black ink surrounded her. 

[Y/n] broke the surface gasping for air, “Y/n!” Ariel called out, swimming towards her. “It’s a storm she’ll kill you.” Ariel said, and [Y/n] looked towards her and shook her head, “I’m not leaving you. I want Eric to be happy even if it means I won't.” She said, and Ariel looked at her sadly. “Y/n..” She said, her voice barely above a whisper. 

Suddenly, the water started to shake violently and something started to emerge in between the two. Slowly emerging from the water, Ursula, now the size of a titan, roared as she used the trident to cause a storm. “Give me your hand!” Ariel shouted, looking over at [Y/n] who stretched her arm struggling to grab onto Ariel and then the two jumped into the raging water below. The force caused [Y/n] to let go, and immediately Ariel swam towards her and helped her up towards the surface. 

“Look out!” Ariel screamed, as Ursula was about to try and crush them with her giant tentacle. The splash sent both girls in opposite directions, “Now,I rule the seas and all the ocean. Under my power!” Ursula shouted, as she raised the trident into the air. 

[Y/n]’s eyes widened seeing the huge wave in front of her and it crashed down on her, sucking her into the water. Ursula then looked towards Ariel and smiled, the latter then held the trident pointing it into the water and moved it in a stirring motion. Creating a whirlpool, and underneath a pile of shipwrecked ships. Ariel dove into the water avoiding the whirlpool. One ship raised to the surface, and was now trapped in the whirlpool.Ariel swam swiftly through the water dodging debris from the shipwreck, and swiftly moved out of the way of one coming towards her, she stared at it for a moment and came up with an idea. 

[Y/n] struggled, as she was trapped in the massive whirlpool Ursula had created. Seeing a ship sticking out of the water, she grabbed onto the rope pulling herself out of the water and held onto the rope for dear life. She pulled herself up, and slumped over the rocks. When Ursula, peered her head over and pointed the trident at her, “So long!” She said, sending a beam of electricity knocking her off and her leg to get caught on the rope causing her to hang upside down. 

As she tried to pull herself up, a ship emerged in the distance which Ariel was on. Staring at the ship's wheel, she started pulling herself towards the wheel. It was a struggle but once she was there, she had a clear view on Ursula. Who was about to aim the trident at [Y/n] once again, that would surely kill her. [Y/n] had finally got herself back up and gripping the rock and she glanced over at Ursula, who aimed the trident at her intent to kill. She stared at her, as the sea witch charged up the trident. Just as she was about to send the killing blow. 

Ariel turned the ship's wheel so it would move towards Ursula. As the ship floated towards the sea witch, it caused her to glance over towards the incoming ship which impaled her, killing her instantly. Her giant hands gripped onto the ship, and Ariel leaped from the ship to avoid being pulled into the water. Slowly the sea witch sank to the water below.. 

Finally, the seas were calm and the sky above was clear. Ariel surfaced and started looking around for [Y/n] who surfaced not so later, and swam towards a wood pallet and held onto it. Breathing heavily, exhausted from the fight.

Eric sat there on the balcony playing fetch with Max, and after he would throw the stick for his dog to retrieve and bring back. He would look down at the item he gave [Y/n] years ago, that had washed up on shore. His heart ached for the girl he wanted he knew truly thought is gone, and will never see again. 

Max ran back the stick in his mouth and Eric turned towards the dog, “Again?” He asked, looking at the dog smiling softly, before taking the stick and throwing it. Max ran off to fetch it, and Eric continued to stare at the item in his hand. After a bit Max hadn’t returned with the stick, “Max?” He called out, wondering where the dog could’ve gone off too. As he

Eric turned around to look for his dog, and saw Ariel and [Y/n] both scratching Max behind the ear. Eric’s gaze fell on [Y/n], they stared at each other for a moment, and before she could even speak. Eric got up and rushed toward her wrapping her arms around her his hand on the back of her head holding her close. Tears welled up in her eyes as she wrapped her arms around him, as she let the tears fall from her eyes.

After breaking the embrace, [Y/n] had tears streaming down her face. Eric wiped them away gently with his thumb, and then surprised her with a kiss on the lips. Her heart swelled, feeling his lips on hers, and taken aback for a mere second to only return the kiss. 

Ariel smiled, as she watched them share a tender moment. She smiled happily, as she looked at Eric after breaking the kiss they looked into each other’s eyes for a moment not saying a word. Before, wrapping their arms around each other once again for another embrace. 

In the cheering crowd, flower petals were tossed into the air as Eric and [Y/n] walked hand in hand down the stairs. A smile on both their faces having just gotten married. The newlyweds couldn’t help laughing excitedly, at their new life just about to begin. 

As [Y/n] walked down the stairs she glanced over and saw Gabriella who was crying overdramatically having just witnessed her little sister get married. [Y/n] sent her a smile, causing her sister to smile back tears in her eyes as she clapped. 

Once down the stairs Eric looked over at Grimsby, “Oh, what’s this Grims?” Eric asked, wondering why basically everyone from the village was here, “The queen wanted the two of you to have the proper send off.” Grimsby said, looking at the two. 

[Y/n] smiled seeing the queen and walked towards her, “Thank you, your majesty.” She said, smiling looking at her as she took her hand. “No, thank you.” Queen Selina said, as she looked at her, “I knew there was something special about you,” She said, causing [Y/n] to smile as she looked at the queen. 

She then looked over towards Ariel and gestured for her to come over, “As much as I hate farewells we still have cause to celebrate,” She said, looking at her and then turned towards Ariel. “Our worlds have misunderstood one another for far too long.” She says, and smiles looking at the three, “Your friendship is a new beginning for us.” She said, causing the three to smile at each other. 

Ariel smiled as she looked at the queen, “Yes a beginning.” Ariel said, smiling looking at her two friends. Queen Selina, then placed her hands on Eric’s cheek and looked him in the eyes, “Now, get out there and change the world.” Queen Selina said, then placing her hands at her side. 

“Or whatever it is you have to do so we don’t get left behind.” She said, and Eric looked at her confused, “T-That doesn’t sound like my mother.” He said, looking at her, “What have you done with her!” He said, causing the queen to roll her eyes and smile, Ariel and [Y/n] to laugh. 

Eric then turned towards his wife, “You ready?” He asked, and she looked up at him and then back towards her sister, “Not yet, I need to say goodbye to someone first.” She said, and he nodded planting a kiss on the side of her head causing [Y/n] to smile as she looked up at him. 

[Y/n] walked towards Gabriella, who immediately started running towards her with tears in her eyes. “Oh, if only mother and father were alive to see this day.” Gabriella cried, wrapping her arms around her little sister. “I’m sure that they’re smiling wherever they are right now.” [Y/n] said, returning the hug. 

Pulling back Gabriella placed her hands on her sisters shoulder and smiled, taking in how beautiful she looked in her wedding dress. “Look at you, you’ve grown up so fast.” Gabriella cried, choking back a sob. [Y/n] wiped away her sister’s tears with her thumb, “I have to thank  you, I don’t think if it weren’t for you I wouldn’t be experiencing this right now.” [Y/n] said, looking at her big sister. 

“You gave me the courage to express my feelings, you tried to comfort me in the moments I felt down.” She said, looking at her sister, tears brimming her eyes. “And, I can’t thank you enough Gabi.” She said, and Gabriella started crying even more. 

“Oh, goodness there's no need to thank me. I was just being the big sister.” She said, and [Y/n] smiled as she pulled her sister into another hug. “But, what will suffice as a thank you is the two of you giving me a niece or nephew.” Gabriella said, causing [Y/n] to hit her on the shoulder gently. 

“Gabi?!” 

“What?! I’m only joking.” Gabriella exclaimed, and then winked at [Y/n] causing her to roll her eyes, she looked back towards Eric. “Bye,” [Y/n] said, looking at her big sister, “Bye.” Gabriella said, watching as her little sister turned towards the man she loved taking his hand and running towards the row boat. 

“Have you decided where you're heading first?!” Gabriella shouted, and [Y/n] turned towards her and smiled, “Uncharted waters.” [Y/n] said, smiling as Eric and her ran towards the rowboats.

 Ariel and [Y/n] entered the lifeboat, and Eric started rowing out towards the ship.[Y/n] smiled, as she looked at Eric and he smiled back at her, as he continued rowing. He stopped for a moment, as if something were behind them causing both Ariel and [Y/n] to turn around and see King Triton. 

King Triton swam over and stared at his daughter, “My child.” He said, looking up at her, he then looked over, “Eric.” He said, and in response he bowed his head. “Y/n.” He said, and she bowed her head in response. “I think these belong to you,” He said, raising his hand revealing the seashell shaped necklace she lost during the wreck, as well the necklace she planned on giving to Eric. 

Tears brimmed her eyes seeing the necklaces again, “Thank you,” She said, smiling as she took them from his hand, and stared at them before smiling as she looked up at Eric. Ariel turned to look back at her father, “Thank you for hearing me.” She said with tears welling up in her eyes, “You shouldn’t have had to give up your voice.” He said, looking at his daughter. 

“But now I am listening.” He said, looking at his daughter, “And I will always be here for you” He paused for a moment, “We all will” Just as he said then. Mermaid’s surfaced and looked towards the rowboat Ariel was in, and [Y/n]’s eyes widened in awe seeing all the mermaids. Tears brimmed Ariel’s eyes seeing her sisters watching to see her off. 

Ariel leaned down and wrapped her arms around her father, “I love you father,” She said, and he hugged her back despite him not wanting to let her go, he had too. She’d grown up so much and she wanted to see the world with her friends, after a few moments. 

She pulled back from the hug, and gave her father a smile. Placing his hands on the rowboat, he pushed it forwards a small wave carrying the rowboat towards the ship. King Triton watched as his daughter went to start her new life with the friends she made. [Y/n] and Eric, starting their new lives together as husband and wife exploring the wild uncharted waters together.

         Two Years Later 

Gabriella shot up from bed letting out a yawn as she stretched out her arms. Scratching the back of her head as she got out of bed. She looked over towards the empty bed on the opposite side of the room. She really missed her little sister yet knew that wherever she is that she’s having the best time of her life with Eric. Exploring uncharted waters. 

She remembered hearing about their return voyage a few days ago, and estimated they’d return in a couple of days. Which was a couple of days ago. The realization hit her like a wave and she rushed towards her wardrobe, and threw off her nightgown and quickly put on her clothes. 

“Y/n!” Gabriella exclaimed, wrapping her arms around her little sister who’s hair had gotten a lot longer due to being gone for two years. “I’ve missed you so much!” She exclaimed, and [Y/n] chuckled, “I’ve missed you too.” [Y/n] said, returning the hug. Pulling back, her sister examined her wondering what Eric and her had gotten up to in the past two years. 

“Oh, wait there's someone I want you to meet.” She said, and as if on cue Eric revealed himself holding something or someone in his arms. Gabriella looked between the two as if this were a dream, this couldn’t be happening.. 

“Gabriella, meet your niece, Maurea.” She said, and tears streamed down Gabriella’s cheeks as she saw her niece for the first time. She was so small and tiny, and looked just like both their parents combined. Maurea had her father’s hair and her mother’s eyes, she also had her father’s smile, and her mother’s nose. And was absolutely adorable, in the pink baby dress she was in, “May I hold her?” Gabriella asked, looking at Eric. 

“Of course,” He said, gently handing the baby over to her and immediately, Gabriella broke down in tears once again. “She’s so beautiful.” She cooed over the infant and made baby faces causing the infant to look at her and coo. “Hi, Maurea, I'm your auntie.” She said, with a calming voice looking down at the infant. She then noticed a necklace around her neck that resembled the one [Y/n] once wore. 

Maurea cooed, and grabbed the seashell part of the necklace and put it in her mouth. But of course it was too big and barely fit, causing Gabriella to giggle. “You are definitely your mother’s child.” She said, remembering when her little sister would always shove seashells into her mouth when she was a toddler. She started babbling as she started playing with the necklace chain. Her tiny hands pulled on it.

 “Oh, she wants to hear the lullaby.” [Y/n] said, walking towards her sister and smiled, as she looked down at Maurea. Planting a kiss on her forehead, before opening the locket and it started playing a melody. Maurea giggled, hearing the melody and cooed seeing the mermaids swim around Atlantica. 

“Ariel, gifted this to her when she was born.” Eric said, looking at his daughter in awe as she babbled, her eyes fixated on the image before her eyes. “She can’t sleep without it.” [Y/n] said, as she leaned her head against Eric’s arm. “She’s so precious.” Gabriella said, still cooing over her niece. “Thank you,” She said, turning to look at her little sister who shook her head and smiled. Just then everyone came down to the beach, wanting to gaze upon the baby.
